According the US Postal Service website, shipping a 1-lb book cross-country (CA to NY) costs $2.38 via the Media Mail rate, which books qualify for. The cost per pound drops dramatically with higher weights, so that a 10-lb. package sent via Media Mail costs $5.89. A flat rate of $4 for the first book, plus $1 for every additional book, would more than pay for Media Mail postage plus packaging.<br /><br />Picking the books up in person is not a practical option for most people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-71684118012768831292009-05-10T19:21:00.000-07:002009-05-10T19:21:00.000-07:00Anonymous, thanks for your comment.

Contact Paul (the publications coordinator) with your concerns, especially if there are a large number of books that you want. Also, you give no indication of where you are: the books are housed in the Modesto area, and can be picked up personally. Also, they are sold at FWS conferences with no add-on fees.Garry Hayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00531226195147986457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-60764579512805088652009-05-10T19:01:00.000-07:002009-05-10T19:01:00.000-07:00The guidebooks look great, but the shipping charge...The guidebooks look great, but the shipping charges are outrageous - if I ordered $100 in books, I'd have to pay $30 in shipping costs!!!
